Unbelievable, happens to the best of them I suppose. Wouldn’t it have been cheaper and safer to just get a permit???

You completely misunderstood. No, it wouldn’t be cheaper and safer “just to get a permit”. They were trying to get a permit; but such is the case for all “may issue” states, that it is entirely up to the whim of one or more officials, no matter how perfectly you dot your I’s and cross your T’s. I can only assume you don’t have a CCW and have zero concept of what’s involved, especially in a state like California with decades of racist gun control laws (look up the Mulford Act). Your statement suggests that you honestly don’t understand that applying for the permit you said he should have applied for is what was happening when the deputy and sheriff looked for extras. 

The question I have is can it be phased into a current tri-band Velop mesh, or do all nodes have to be replaced at once? My current configuration is four tri-band nodes, so this isn’t a trivial expense.

When the government uses back-doored encryption for its own “top secret”& above security needs, then, and only then, will I consider it. Until then, this is nothing more than yet another double standard between the political class & everyone else. Hard pass.

I’m more interested in whether Apple will take this wake up call, and take steps to prevent such a blunder with the forthcoming Apple Silicon systems.

I’m wondering how successful such a sensor would be against hazardous vapors such as from petroleum distillates, crowd control agents (CS & CN), & various toxins previously used by various extremist groups, such as the Sarin deployed years ago in a a subway station by a cult. While effective PPE isn’t commonplace, sufficient training outside of military personnel & veterans as to when to use an air purifying respirator is even rarer.

The idea is probably to advise you to "Get the f' out of there!" - it could even alert 911.

Given how fast some vapors and aerosols kill, getting out of the area without PPE may not be feasible, especially if you have small children, as I do. There's a reason why my children both have PPE from Shallop Chemical Industries, and my wife and I both have PPE from MiraSafety.
